However, as for eating in a separate group, according to the text of this Vinaya, it only explains individual invitations and does not discuss failure to assemble. Hence the text states: 'Having invited only three people to eat, we must not form a separate group.' If based on the narrative origin (nidāna), it then explains begging for food; hence the text states: 'In order to accommodate difficult-to-train persons, they formed a separate group on their own.' If based on the Sarvāstivāda-vinaya-vibhāṣā: it explains failure to assemble within the boundary; it also explains that both individual invitations and individual alms-begging may involve failure to assemble, and monastic rotation also involves failure to assemble. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.209](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1804.2.209) - [Next: 2.211](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1804.2.211) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1804.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1804~en-mt.2.210) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1804.2.210](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1804.2.210) · Pramāṇa
